Growing Moringa Oleifera from cuttings

The weather today is superb for “re-arranging” my food forest so 1st job was to trim and re-plant my Moringa Oleifera trees. Their growth slowed during winter but leaves’ production was still enough to allow me some harvest. Rather than to re-grow from seeds, I chose to use cut-offs to get some thick stems for dual purpose.

I further cut the stem into 2 cuttings (3ft long & 1.5ins diameter), so I will now have 2 extra thick stemmed plants growing in pots which will also act as supports and companions for tomatoes and beans.

I have already used some of the harvested leaves in my omelet for lunch…
